Duke Avoids Series Sweep to No. 17 Georgia Tech With 10-3 Win
Jackets win series, 2-1
March 23, 2008
ATLANTA - Gabriel Saade had five hits and Tim Sherlock drove in four
runs to help Duke (19-5, 4-5 ACC) avoid an ACC series sweep to No. 17
Georgia Tech (17-5, 5-4 ACC) with a 10-3 win Sunday afternoon at Russ
Chandler Stadium.
Saade went 5-for-5 with three singles, a double and a ninth-inning home
run while Sherlock collected two hits, including his first home run of
the season, against the Yellow Jackets. Sherlock's three-run home run
highlighted a four-run second inning for the Blue Devils.
Yellow Jacket starter Zach Von Tersch (2-1) lasted just two innings and
suffered his first loss of the season after giving up the four runs,
only three of which were earned, on three hits while walking two.
Derek Dietrich and Brad Feltes led Tech's offense with two hits apiece.
Tech recorded five-consecutive hits for the first time this season to
take a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning. Thomas Nichols
doubled down the right field line, moved to third base on a failed
pickoff attempt by Duke's starting pitcher Grant Monroe, and scored on a
ground-rule double by Charlie Blackmon for the first run of the game.
Blackmon advanced to third on a base hit by Dietrich and scored Tech's
second run on an RBI single by Feltes.
Dietrich helped Tech narrow the gap to one with a towering home run to
lead off the third inning, but Monroe retired nine of the next 11
batters he faced to help the Blue Devils maintain the lead.
Monroe (4-1) limited Tech to three runs on seven hits and three walks
while fanning two in five innings to earn his fourth win of the season
after the Blue Devils added three runs in the seventh inning to extend
their lead to 7-3.
